A small group of protesters gathered across the street from a future Walmart site in Tigard Saturday afternoon to protest the retailer’s impending arrival.

Members of the “Tigard First!” community action group said they expect the Walmart to make already-congested traffic in the area even worse. The store will be on Dartmouth Street south of Pacific Highway.

The protestors also object to Walmart’s labor policies. They have been asking the city to consider an ordinance that would require big-box retailers to pay at least $13 an hour. But in June, the Tigard City Council declined to pursue such regulations.

“They can pay better,” said protestor David Otto. “They can. At some point, the greed becomes beyond vulgar.”
